Commentary Chasing the Pathophysiological Footprint in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Beyond Global Strain

Key Points

• This commentary discusses the importance of identifying advanced pathophysiological features in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy beyond traditional measures.
• Analyzed existing literature on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and related physiological measures.
• Evaluated advanced imaging techniques and biomarkers for assessing cardiac function.
• Identified that traditional global strain metrics may not fully capture the complexity of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
• Emphasized the potential of newer approaches to improve diagnosis and management by providing deeper insights into cardiac physiology.
